This is so strange. How can people have so little empathy for the lives of innocent people?

    It's part of Israel's propaganda to make this about religion to invoke irrational "War on Terror" sentiments in people who haven't looked into it that deeply.

    In reality, they're dehumanizing and targeting all Palestinian Arabs, including Christians. Hence the shooting up and bombing of churches along with everything else.

    Some of them are Kahanists but I don't think religion figures into their motives as a wider group except for scapegoating purposes.

    5% of the population is psychopathic. Folks forget this stat. They also forget that moral competence exists on a spectrum, so that even regular people are capable of great evil, especially in service to their religion.

    It's only a genocide if the west disagrees with it.

    All religions are shit. Humanity really needs to shed this primitive baggage already.

    It's not about religion. It's about settler colonialism.

    All the righties in any other situation would be screaming that protesters blocking a road should be run over.

    I don't really agree but perhaps we should respect their wishes this one time. 🤔

    I suspect every country has their MAGA. And the problem is when it gets to big.

    I think when people feel survival precarity, its easy to get into their head they have to hoard what they got from the Others.

    That figured pretty largely into the story of Sodom, it didn't end well, albeit by deus ex machina.

    The media want us to believe that the Problem with Israel is the far right government, while in reality it is the whole fucking Nation.

    I have known a number of actual Israelis. The majority just wants to live peaceful lives.

    This is definitely the MAGA side.

    The majority just wants to live peaceful lives.

    Problem is what do we define "peaceful lives". You and I think it just means being able to go about our daily lives and just that, but Israelis have been drowning in propaganda. It's like saying "Americans just want peaceful lives right after 9/11/" Sure, but what they think will get them their peaceful lives is an armed invasion and genocide. It was a popular enough view to get Bush reelected.

    A "rave" in the barest sense of the word. That's got to be the shittiest "rave" I've ever seen in my life, and I was barely coherent or intelligible through most of them.

    That's not a rave. That's fascists celebrating preventing aid for people who they hate because they believe in different skydaddies
